What is whiplash?

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury that is also known as “cervical acceleration-deceleration injury.” Since it does not show up clearly on X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans, it is misunderstood as a minor injury. When whiplash occurs, damage is done to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs, nerves, and vertebrae of the neck. This is a result of sudden force that moves the neck backward then forward.
